LATEST VERSION OF
SCHUECO SLIMLINE
FAÇADE SYSTEM HAS
ALL-GLASS CORNER OPTION
Schueco UK has introduced new developments to its ultra-slimline
FWS 35 PD panorama design façade system. The enhanced system
delivers even greater visual elegance with larger all-glass areas, the
option of sun-shading and three levels of burglar resistance.
A major innovation is the introduction of an all-glass corner solution.
Here, by transferring the glass load directly to the adjacent mullions,
the design avoids the need for intrusive profiles or pull-push rods.
The result is wider unobstructed views and greater transparency
from inside and a sleeker, more contemporary look from outside.
With Passive House certification for the top Schueco FWS 35 PD.SI
version, the range offers thermal insulation levels as low as 0.79
W/m 2 K and can accommodate double- and triple-glazed units from
22 mm to 50 mm thickness. The versatility of the system is further
enhanced by the introduction of a new single glazed option which is
ideal for high-end display windows and internal applications.
Where ventilation is required, the Schueco FWS 35 PD façade can
incorporate Schueco AWS 114 opening window units. Operated
either manually or mechatronically with a concealed Schueco
TipTronic actuator, these are an attractive and practical method of
ventilation. They can be specified with either top-hung or parallel-
opening types.
Recognising the importance of solar shading for large glazed
areas, the Schueco FWS 35 PD façade offers two newly introduced
methods of attachment by means of bolts or brackets. Discrete
connection components are able to accommodate a wide variety
of shading units despite the Schueco FWS 35 PD façade’s very slim
profiles.
This extends the system’s flexibility in line with other Schueco
façade systems and by giving architects more options, allows them
greater latitude to realise their particular design vision.

Reflecting the growing importance of security, the Schueco FWS 35
PD façade offers three levels of security – standard or resistance
classes 2 and 3 of EN 1627, the latter incorporating P4A and P6B
security glass. Because the components that help to achieve this are
fully concealed, the appearance of the façade is unaffected.
